It was a significant year for the 41-year-old Donald Trump. In 1987, Trump published his first book, The Art of the Deal, which climbed to No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller list; and he appeared on the cover of Newsweek under the title "Citizen Trump," a not-altogether-flattering reference to Orson Welles' 1941 movie Citizen Kane.

Citizen Kane is in fact Trump's favorite film. "I think you learn in Kane that maybe wealth isn't everything," Trump later commented. "Because Kane had the wealth, but he didn't have happiness."

Back in Newsweek's 1987 article, a "friend" put it another way: “No achievement can satisfy what Donald wants. What he wants still is acceptance from his father. He is playing out his insecurities on an incredibly large canvas.”

These pictures were taken at Donald's weekend home in Greenwich, Connecticut. The eight bedroom home at 21 Vista Drive, built in 1939, was awarded to Ivana in the couple's 1991 divorce and sold in 1998 for $15 million. Trump had bought it in 1982 for $4 million.

I’m not running for president, but if I did… I’d win. There, I said it. I didn’t think I would, but I did.
